Molybdenum cofactor (MoCo) mutants of Neurospora crassa lack both NADPH-nitrate reductase and xanthine dehydrogenase activity. In vivo and in vitro studies to further characterize these mutants are now reported. The MoCo mutants nit-9A and nit-9B are capable of growing, albeit poorly, with nitrate a
